Porges joins a firm that has been expanding its lending platform to bring its value-added borrower experience nationwide. With over 25 years of mortgage lending experience in leadership roles with GE Capital, ABN-AMRO/Interfirst and Chase, it’s clear that Porges brings more than just a fresh perspective to the table. Hamilton Group Funding’s addition of Rob Porges to their impressive roster is a clear indication of the firm’s continuing prosperity.

Porges joins a seasoned management team that continues to build a national mortgage network by hiring the best local loan originators. Through continuing education and training, Hamilton provides innovative mortgage solutions for realtors, builders, financial planners and their customers.

Hamilton Group Funding set another record-breaking loan-closing month in July, proving the value of the products and services provided to their business partners and borrowers. Low interest rates, a steadying job market and increasing home sales will also help Hamilton continue this trend. In Broward County, Florida; the home office location of Hamilton, single family home sales rose 8 percent while condominium sales rose a healthy 12 percent. Statewide sales of single-family homes and condominiums increased as well, rising 12 percent when compared to July 2010. Florida continues to be a destination state for transplants across the country, rendering the third largest percentage increase in population in 2010. This flux of new residents promises to augment a newly burgeoning state economy, creating a surge in the demand for responsible mortgage lending.

As the dust settles after the latest economic down-turn, it’s clear that commitment-driven lenders like Hamilton Group Lending will be at the forefront of the mortgage game. The addition of an experienced Managing Director like Rob Porges further solidifies that fact. With Porges at the helm, Hamilton is primed to become a true giant in the lending industry.

Hamilton Group Funding is a licensed mortgage lender founded in 2003 with offices in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Indiana.
